Please Note: The images shown are typical examples of mature adult fish and not necessarily the exact fish in our current stock. Actual fish coloration can vary due to lineage, location, age, and gender. If you would like photos of the fish currently available, you may request them. Please understand that we may not always be able to provide these promptly due to time constraints, and photographing some fish can be challenging.
Also known as the Umbrella Cichlid, Apistogramma borellii is a species of dwarf cichlid native to southern Brazil and northern Argentina. Its most distinct feature compared to other Apistos is the extremely large and showy dorsal fin. There are many localities and selectively bred ornamental strains, but most share a basic colour pattern; yellow base colour and fins, with blue iridescence on the body and iridescent markings around the face.
